MP3 What is MP3? MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This audio compression method has penetrated into PC users and become a standard format. This MP3 features the original audio data compression to about 10 percent of its initial size with a high sound quality. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.
Precautions when creating an MP3 disc ● File extensions 1. Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3” to an MP3 file by using single byte letters. If you add a file extension other than specified or forget to add the file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”, the file cannot be played. In addition, if you use upper case and lower case letters (capital and small letters) mixedly for file extensions, normal play may not be possible. 2. Files without MP3 data will not play. ● Logical format (File system)
TRACK ELAPSED TRACK REMAIN
1. When writing an MP3 file on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1 or level 2 (without including expansion format)” as the writing software format. Normal playback may not be possible if the disc is recorded on another format. 2. The folder name and filename can be displayed as the title during MP3 play but the title must be within 31 and 27 single byte alphabetical letters and numerals for the folder name and filename, respectively (without including an extension). Entering more letters or numerals than specified may cause an incorrect display. ● Folder structure 1. A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels will conflict with the ISO9660 and playback will be impossible.

1. A total of 255 files and folders are allowed. (However, the maximum number of folders must be within 254.) When the number of files and folders is more than 256, playback of tracks in excess of that number is impossible. 2. Tracks are played in the order that they were recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not always be played in the order displayed on the PC.) • Some noise may occur depending on the type of encoder software used while recording. • Files created using LAME (Lame Aint MP3 Encoder) may not be played properly. • In case of a track recorded at VBR (variable bit rate), the display for the play time of the track may be slightly different from the actual play time. Also, the recommended value of VBR ranges from 64 kbps to 320 kbps. • Depending on the damage conditions of a file, it may occur that the file is not played and the next file is played instead. Also, if the damage is in a severe condition, play stops showing the “DISC ERROR” display. After disc selection, the play mode is automatically engaged.
